The paper is on the record of radiography the patients with SIEMENS ANGIOSTAR/POLYTRON S PLUS angiosystem with DSA system in the Chonbuk National University Hospital from October 1993 to June 1994. The results are as follow : 1. Among the total No, 836 case of utilization, angiography are 316(37.8 %), interventional radiography are 256(34.2 %), and dacryocystography and sialography are 168(20/1 %). Therefore non-angiogrlphy procedure are incerasing. 2. The aomunt of contrast material used are half as much as conventional angiovascular system. 3. The amount of film consumed are $10{\sim}15%$ of that of conventional angio vascular system and reduction of procedure time are $40{\sim}50%$. 4. Admitting that dignostic utility is in the utilization by examination region, there should be technological study which deal with fine vessel and motion artifact problem.

A 78-year-old woman was referred to Chonbuk National University Dental Hospital complaining of facial palsy and palpable mass on the right parotid gland area. Clinical examination showed non-specific findings of the intraoral region, but showed asymmetrical facial appearance. Panoramic view showed a large amorphous calcified mass on the posterior to the mandibular ramus and thin cortical plate of the posterior ramus. Sialogram showed constriction of the main duct and no further filling of striated, intercalated ducts and parenchymal areas. CT scans demonstrated an irregular, infiltrating mass with slight enhancement in the right parotid gland. The mass showed necrotic areas and calcifications. Bone scan showed marked accumulation of /sup 99m/Tc-MDP on the right posterior maxilla. Microscopic findings demonstrated the minimal morphologic alterations and rare mitotic figures within tumor cells, and diagnosed as adenocarcinoma (NOS, Grade II). This report could be aid in the diagnosis of calcified lesions of the salivary gland.

A sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, most often caused by facial trauma or iatrogenic complications. In subcondylar fractures, most surgeons are conscious of facial nerve injury; however, they usually pay little attention to the parotid duct injury. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with a sialocele, approximately $5{\times}3cm$ in size, which developed 1 week after subcondylar fracture reduction. The sialocele became progressively enlarged despite conservative management. Computed tomography showed a thin-walled cyst between the body and tail of the parotid gland. Fluid leakage outside the cyst was noted where the skin was thin. Sialography showed a cutting edge of the inferior interlobular major duct before forming the common major duct that seemed to be injured during the subcondylar fracture reduction process. We decided on prompt surgical treatment, and the sialocele was completely excised. A duct from the parotid tail, secreting salivary secretion into the cyst, was ligated. Botulinum toxin was administrated to block the salivary secretion and preventing recurrence. Treatment was successful. In addition, we found that parotid major ducts are enveloped by the deep lobe and extensive dissection during the subcondylar fracture reduction may cause parotid major duct injury.

The aim of this study was to establish the diagnostic criteria of normal parotid glands in adults revealing the anatomical shape, its variations and the postitional relationships of the gland. Materials included 96 lateral and anterior-posterior sialograms of selected person from 23 to 28 years of age. Results were as follows: 1. The average length and lateral displacement of main duct was 48.43㎜ and l6.88㎜. The mean lumen diameter of that was 0.91㎜ in distal end and 1.40㎜ in hilar end in parotid glands. 2. The average angle of main duct to the inferior border of mandib was 34.32 degree. In configurations of main duct, modified curvilinear type was. most prevalent and followed by curvilinear, reverse sigmoid, sigmoid type. 3. The mean caliber of parotid gland was the longest in superior-inferior. 4. The interlobar ducts showed relatively well defined in all cases, its average number was 5.72. Arrangement of these ducts showed at random. Accessory lobe showed 87.5% in the all cases, its average number was 1.7. 5. There were no difference between the well and poorly defined acinar fillings in the glandular parenchyme. 6. There were no differences between right and left parotid glands in size and shape of main duct and parenchymal portion, but there were great variations in each individuals.

The author examined fifty cases of sialolithiasis diagnosed in the Dept. of Oral Radiology in SNUH by conventional radiography and sialography, and analyzed patient's age, sex, location, radio density, numbers, shapes, and relation with ducts and parenchymas. 1. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The average age of patients was 38.6 years in submandibular sialolithiasis, and 39.2 years in parotid sialolithiasis. 2. There was slightly higher incidence in males (58.0%) than in females (42.0%). 3. Salivary stones were found to be much more in the submandibular gland and duct (82.0%) than in the parotid gland and duct (18.0%). 4. Of 62 submandibular salivary stones, 33 (53.2%) occurred in the main duct, 25 (40.3%) occurred in the hilum, and 4 (6.5%) occurred in the parenchyma. Of 18 parotid salivary stones, 9(50.0%) occurred in the main duct, 5(27.8%) occurred in the parenchyma, and 4(22.2%) occurred in the hilum. 5. Of the submandibular salivary stones, the number of radiopaque type was 45 (75.8%), and the number of radiolucent type was 17 (24.2%). Of the parotid salivary stones, the number of radiopaque type was 12 (66.7%), and the number of radiolucent type was 6(33.3%). 6. The single type was 30 cases (73.2%) in submandibular gland, 6 cases (66.7%) in parotid gland, and the multiple type was 11 cases (26.8%) in submandibular gland, and 3 cases (33.3%) in parotid gland. 7. Round shape was 35 cases (43.8%), ovoid shape was 22 cases (27.5%), irregular shape was 17 cases (21.3%), and cylindrical shape was 6 cases (7.5%).

The aim of this study was to establish the diagnostic criteria of normal submandibular glands in adults. Materials included 132 sialograms of selected person from 23 to 28 years of age. In subjects each variable was measured and evaluated statistically introducing 18 items respectively. Conclusions from this study were as follows. 1. The mean diameter of main duct was 1.96㎜ in distal end and 2.71㎜ in hilar end, so the diameter of distal end was smaller than that of hilar end in submandibular glands. 2. The mean length of main duct was 42.02㎜ in submandibular glands. 3. The mean angle of main duct was 35.67 degrees with inferior border of mandible and 103.05 degrees at posterior mylohyoid portion. 4. In configurations following shape of main duct, those revealed that 39.39% of cases of the curvilinear type, 16.67% of cases of the linear type, 22.73% of cases of the sigmiod type and 21.21% of cases of the angular type. And in configurations following course of main duct, those revealed that 83.33% of cases of the smooth type and 16.67% of cases of the tortuous type. 5. The mean caliber of submandibular glands was 45.59㎜ in superoinferior height, 43.56㎜ in anteroposterior width, 28.85㎜ in mediolateral width and 33.65㎜ in extent below mandibular angle. 6. Well-delineated acinar parenchyme was observed in 77.28% of cases and well-defined tertiary ducts in 50.06% of cases. 7. There were no differences between right and left submandibular glands in size and shape of main duct and parenchymal portion, but there were great variations in each individual.

Ultrasound sonography(US) is used to evaluate various diseases of oral and maxillofacial region including salivary glands, soft tissue and jaw lesions because of easy accessibility and no hazard of ionizing radiation. Also, US can offer dynamic study showing real-time images during diagnostic or surgical procedure. US images provide accurate information about the internal features of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment. Doppler images are used to visualize the vascular distribution of the lesions and to provide additional information to enhance diagnostic value. It is necessary to evaluate the diagnostic value of US and evaluate its usefulness by looking at clinical cases using US images. Therefore, US imaging may be recommended as an assistant image in evaluating jaw lesions. US images provided accurate information about the internal structure of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment, and diagnostic value was enhanced by visualizing the vascular distribution of the lesion using doppler imaging. We report the protocol and suggest the effectiveness of US for various lesions and US-guided sialography.

Obstructive sialadenitis, one of the diseases that most frequently causes swelling and pain in the salivary glands, is mainly caused by structural obstructions. Sialolithiasis is the most frequent cause of the disease, and other causes include calculus formation, duct strictures, foreign bodies, and anatomical variations. Although there is a possibility that facial fillers directly block the salivary ducts, no cases of obstructive sialadenitis associated with them have been reported yet. We report the case of a 34-year-old female patient who complained of recurrent swelling and pain in the left buccal mucosa. She had undergone facial filler injection procedures on her facial area for cosmetic purposes several years before. Based on the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR sialography, she was diagnosed with obstructive sialadenitis due to facial fillers. Through this case, we should remember to obtain a thorough history including filler treatments in the case of parotid gland swelling. We also suggest proper utilization of advanced imaging such as MRI in evaluating the location of facial fillers.

타석증은 대, 소타액선의 도관내에 석회화 물질이 형성되는 것이다. 타액의 점도가 높고 도관이 길고 구부러진 악하선에서 가장 호발한다. 어떤 나이에서도 발생할 수 있지만, 중년에서 호발하며 어린이에서는 드물다. 타석증의 임상 증상은 다양하지만, 부종이 가장 흔하며, 그 다음이 동통이다. 임상 검사와 방사선 검사(파노라믹 방사선 사진, 하악 교합면 방사선 사진, 타액선 조영술, 구강 내 및 구강 외 초음파, CT, MRI, 타액선 내시경)가 타석증의 진단 및 타석의 위치를 확인하는 데 도움을 준다. 치료는 도관의 절개에 의한 타석의 제거나 타액선의 절개를 포함하는 수술적 치료가 많다. 그러나, 일부는 쇄석술과 $CO_2$ 레이저, 내시경 등의 비침습적인 기술을 사용할 수 있다. 5세 여환이 구강저의 노란색 물질을 주소로 개인 병원에서 의뢰되었다. 4개월 전 처음 발견했을 때보다 3배 더 커졌으며 때때로 동통이 있었다고 하였다. 임상 검사 상, 노란색의 단단한 물질이 악하선 도관의 입구에서 관찰되었다. 와튼스 도관의 전방부에 발생한 악하선 타석증으로 진단내렸다. 국소마취하에 타석을 적출하였다.
